Hi, I'm Dale Wicks, Grand Rapids, Michigan-based musician/composer. I can perform up to 4 hours of originals music or covers for solo engagements, singing and accompanying myself on guitar and/or piano as necessary. Or, if solo piano is more to your liking, I am capable of performing that as well. For an additional fee, I can bring a three-piece band to accompany me.
The studio at which I compose uses PreSonus Studio One 2 and and Cakewalk Music Creator 6 for digital and MIDI recording, well suited for composing and performing music for commercials and computer games. I have self-recorded a folk-country CD, Someone Else's Songs, in the hopes of obtaining licensing and publishing deals for the songs it contains.
